CFR: Bush revo, RIP
[I just got the email offering an advance look to CFR-accredited
media at the new ish of Foreign Affairs - I can’t share the full
text, but here’s a teaser]
The End of the Bush Revolution Philip H. Gordon From Foreign Affairs, July/August 2006
Summary: The Bush administration’s “revolutionary” foreign policy
rhetoric has not changed, but its actual policies have: after
squandering U.S. legitimacy, breaking the domestic bank, and getting
the United States bogged down in an unsuccessful war, the Bush
doctrine has run up against reality and become unsustainable. The
counterrevolution should be welcomed — and, if possible, locked in.
PHILIP H. GORDON is a Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy Studies at the
Brookings Institution and a co-author, with Jeremy Shapiro, of Allies
at War: America, Europe, and the Crisis Over Iraq.
